Lao PDR - Nam Ou river - Bamboo containers of fish for sale

Bamboo containers filled with fish caught on the Nam Ou river for sale in Ban Tang, Phongsaly province, Lao PDR. The Nam Ou river connects small riverside villages and provides the rural population with food for fishing. But this river and others like it, that are the lifeline of rural communities and local economies are being blocked, diverted and decimated by dams. The Lao government hopes to transform the country into ‘the battery of Southeast Asia’ by exporting the power to Thailand and Vietnam.
